You cannot recognize
Faces in the mirror
As they keep changing day after day
And in the shimmering light
You find yourself surrounded
By ghosts of those that you might have become
And like the circles on the surface of the water
From stones you threw as a little boy
At the old pond behind your country house
They disappear dissolving in your memory
Yet somehow they will always stay around
And pictures of the past are so deceptive
The colours fade, the faces change
The roads you drove all merge to one and you
Can’t tell a feverish nightmare from reality
When this moment of peace
Finally comes
You’re asking yourself
With tears in your eyes
What took you so long?
When what you’ve been looking for
Finally comes
You’re asking yourself
With tears in your eyes
What took you so long?
Long
[Now the] curtain has fallen
Yesterday's gone
Time to say to your past [life]
Goodbye and so long
[Now the] curtain has fallen
And a new day has come
Time to say to your past [life]
Farewell and so long
And when I leave
I blink
And I'll wake up at the ocean floor
Nothing can touch me
And I can't touch anything myself
We live and die with our opinions
Mine will trickle down
Into the mud
And I can no longer be held responsible
My body is going to evaporate
Each particle
A Memory
Of happiness
Of kindness
Finally I can be kind
